Anyone know if its legal to bowfish offshore? i would assume it is about the same as spearfishing, not sure though.

It does apply only in state waters, but if you launch in state waters and come back through state waters then it applies.

You can take flounder too.

Ive shot triggerfish and spade fish off my chum churn. Lots of fun I was going to try a ling one day but couldnt get a good head shot angle on him. I just assumed it would be the same as spearfishing for them.
